How do I convert fonts to outlines in Adobe Illustrator?
It’s a good idea to convert fonts to outlines to avoid any font, tracking or style changes.
For the most reliable print results, we recommend converting your live text to outlines before submitting fonts for printing. This ensures the best way to guard against any subtle (or not so subtle) changes to your chosen fonts, spacing, weights, and alignment remain consistent and accurate throughout the production process.
However, if you anticipate there is a possibility that you would need edits, alterations, or alternate versions of your document—either now or in the future—leaving your fonts as live text can make revisions easier.
